Smoking in Places of Amusement
While in New York City and other places smoking in certain portions of the theatre is prohibited, it is permitted in parts of the auditorium. No one may smoke in the property rooms, paint rooms, carpenter shops, scene docks, locker rooms, dressing rooms, engine and boiler rooms, etc., and yet. where people are assembled and where plenty of inflammable material is in close proximity, a certain portion of the audience may smoke and throw matches around to their hearts' content. With the ever growing use of the cigarette by the gentler sex. with their proverbial carelessness, and their flimsy, highly combustible garments, the danger is increased fourfold.
